IMPROVEMENT IN FASTENERS FOR MEETING-RAILS OF SASHES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 187,141, dated February 6, 1877; application filed September 18, 1876.

To all who-m it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK J. HOYT, of the town of Batavia, in the county of Grenesee and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fasteners for the Meeting-Rails of Sashes, for which I obtained a patent on the 8th August, 1876, No. 180,716, and to which my herein-described imp provelnent is to be applied, and which is fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings. A

The object'of my invention is to improve the invention described in Letters Patent is' threaded to the end, engages with the thread inside of said socket, and by this means the two rails of said sas'hes are drawn tight together, the airis excluded, the sashes are prevented from rattling, and there is no open joint for a burglars tool.

The thread upon the outside of the socket holds it in the Wood, and prevents its being drawn out by the action of the threaded bolt in drawing and holding the sashes together.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as follows:

A metal socket threaded inside and ont, in combination with a threaded bolt for fastening the meeting-rails of window-sashes, substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.

FRED. J. HOYT.
